Absolue Les Parfum Rose on the Moon

Woody, Smoky Rose

Lancôme never cuts corners with its perfumes, and in Malaysia, Lancome perfumes is always sought after especially Miracle, with its iconic pink juice, still holds its place as a beloved classic among women. Rose on The Moon takes a different path, offering a refined blend of rose with a whisper of dusky, creamy sandalwood. It’s so smooth that for a moment, I almost mistook it for oud, but no—this is sandalwood at its most elegant, grounding the rose without overpowering it. The way the two notes intertwine feels almost poetic, like roses blooming only under moonlight, their scent lingering in the cool night air. It’s not heavy, but it’s not fleeting either. Lightweight yet present, with an aura that stays close but undeniable. I can see this working beautifully for Muslim men heading to Friday prayers, something I’d definitely wear myself. The combination of rose and wood always feels expensive, effortlessly refined, and here, it’s done with remarkable elegance. At MYR1045 as of March 10, 2025 (USD270), But now it is MYR1120 (as of April 3, 2025) it’s an investment, but one that feels justified. The bottle is exceptional. Lancôme knows how to make a statement but I can’t help but wish for a magnetic cap to complete the experience.
